Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular to a food processing method, a food processing machine and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the development of food processing equipment, products such as wall breaking machines have emerged. Taking the wall breaking machine as an example, during the working process of the wall breaking machine, the user can add appropriate amounts of materials and water according to the pulping needs, and then control the wall breaking machine to cook, so as to achieve the production of slurries such as soy milk. For example, if a user tries to make 1000ml of soy milk, the user can add 100g of soybeans and 900ml of water to the wall breaking machine in advance, and then trigger the corresponding cooking function of the wall breaking machine. In order to ensure that the materials are fully crushed, the material mixture is stirred evenly, and the subsequent slurry tastes better, during the pulping process, the wall breaking machine needs to boil the boiling slurry, and use high-speed crushing to fully stir the slurry in a high-temperature environment after boiling, and finally complete the slurry production.

[0003] In the field of food slurry production, application number 201810682590.9 discloses a cooking appliance control method in which an air pump pumps cold air into the cooking appliance during the opening and exhausting phase, thereby reducing the waiting time before opening the lid. However, the application document states that the air pump is not activated during the cooking phase, maintaining the slurry temperature within the cooking appliance at a relatively high boiling point throughout the entire cooking phase.

[0004] Application No. 202223569066.1 discloses a food processor capable of filtering gas. The processor includes an air supply assembly that supplies air to the grinding chamber during the self-cleaning process, enhancing the cleaning efficiency of the food processor. However, the application document states that the air supply assembly is not activated during the cooking phase, maintaining the temperature of the slurry within the cooking vessel at a relatively high boiling point throughout the cooking phase.

[0005] In the food slurry processing process provided by the aforementioned application, the slurry is maintained at a high boiling temperature during the cooking phase, which can easily cause slurry splashing. To reduce the slurry temperature, existing food processing devices partially require adding cold water to the boiling slurry to cool it down, then continuing to cook it until it boils and adding water again to cool it down. The technical solution of application No. 201410453039.9, which partially adopts the technical solution, discloses a rapid slurry production method for a soymilk maker. This method eliminates soymilk foam and prevents soymilk overflow by providing an air pump in the soymilk maker to remove hot air from the pulverizer. However, in the application document, when the vacuum pump extracts the hot air in the grinder, it will cause a large amount of external cold air to enter the grinder due to the pressure difference, and the temperature of the soy milk will drop rapidly. The heating device will continue to heat the soy milk, causing the soy milk to be in a high-temperature boiling state before the vacuum is used to cool it down. After the vacuum is applied, the temperature of the soy milk drops rapidly. In the next vacuum cycle, the soy milk reaches a high-temperature boiling state again. The temperature of the soy milk fluctuates greatly during the entire cooking process.

[0006] Regardless of whether water is added or air is pumped out, the temperature of the soy milk will fluctuate greatly in a short period of time during the cooking process, affecting the taste, appearance and taste of the final food products such as soy milk. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a food processing method, a food processing machine and a computer-readable storage medium, which can improve the appearance and taste of the finished food product.

[0008] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a food processing method, which is applied to a food processing machine, the food processing machine including a pulping component, a temperature control component, and a control unit, the control unit being electrically connected to the pulping component and the temperature control component, respectively, the control unit being used to control the operation of the pulping component and the temperature control component, the pulping component including a cup body for accommodating food to be processed and a rotating member located in the cup body for crushing the food to be processed into food slurry, the temperature control component including a heating device for heating the food slurry, an air pump for blowing air into the food slurry, and a temperature sensing element for measuring the temperature of the food slurry, the food processing method comprising: a boiling stage: the heating device heats the food slurry to a boiling state, when the temperature of the food slurry is below a slight boiling temperature, the heating device is turned on and the air pump is turned off, when the temperature of the food slurry is above the slight boiling temperature, the air pump is turned on and the heating device is turned off, the slight boiling temperature being determined based on the boiling temperature of the food slurry, and the slight boiling temperature being lower than the boiling temperature.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the food processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, compared with the related art of cooling the food slurry by adding cold water, cooling the food slurry by blowing air can gradually reduce the temperature of the food slurry, reduce the sudden change of the real-time temperature of the food slurry in a short period of time, and improve the appearance and taste of the food slurry; in addition, by alternately controlling the opening and closing of the heating device and the air pump, the food slurry is always kept near the slightly boiling temperature, reducing the slurry splashing caused by high-temperature boiling of the food slurry. The food slurry is kept near the slightly boiling temperature, so that the food slurry can roll below the liquid surface, and the cooking of the food slurry is more uniform and the cooking quality is better. Fewer bubbles are generated above the liquid surface, which can reduce the bubbles in the food slurry and make the taste of the food slurry smoother.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the food processing method further includes: obtaining a preset boiling temperature difference, and setting the difference between the boiling temperature and the preset boiling temperature difference as the slight boiling temperature.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the heating device includes a high-power gear and a medium-power gear, and the heating of the food slurry to a boiling state includes: the heating device maintains the high-power gear to heat the food slurry, and at the same time, the rotating member runs for a preset stirring time at each preset interval to stir the food slurry, and the air pump is turned on while the rotating member stirs the food slurry; after the food slurry reaches a first preset temperature or the heating device continues heating for a preset time, the heating device switches to the medium-power gear to heat the food slurry to a boiling state. In the early stage, the heating device maintains a high-power gear to quickly heat the food slurry, so that the food slurry heats up quickly and improves cooking efficiency. At the same time, stirring the slurry can reduce slurry splashing caused by uneven heating. Blowing air while stirring can make the stirring effect more uniform.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, after heating the food slurry to a boiling state, the food processing method further includes: turning off the heating device and turning on the air pump to reduce the temperature of the food slurry to a second preset temperature. Turning off the heating device and turning on the air pump to blow air into the boiling food slurry lowers the actual temperature of the food slurry and can reduce bubbles generated during the boiling process of the food slurry.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the air pump includes a high-power blowing gear and a low-power blowing gear; the air pump is turned on while the rotating member is stirring the food slurry, including: the air pump is turned on at the low-power blowing gear while the rotating member is stirring the food slurry; the air pump is turned on when the temperature of the food slurry is higher than the slightly boiling temperature, including: the air pump is turned on at the high-power blowing gear when the temperature of the food slurry is higher than the slightly boiling temperature. When the air pump is turned on at the low-power blowing gear for blowing during stirring, the stirring effect can be more uniform, while reducing the heat loss of the slurry and improving the heating efficiency of the food slurry; and when the high-power blowing gear is used during the slightly boiling step, the slurry can be cooled down faster, entering the next heating stage faster, and improving the cooking efficiency.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the heating device includes a high power gear, a medium power gear, and a low power gear, and when the temperature of the food slurry is lower than the slight boiling temperature, the heating device is turned on, including: when the temperature of the food slurry is lower than the slight boiling temperature, the heating device is turned on at the low power gear. During the slight boiling step, the heating device is turned on at the low power gear to heat the food slurry, thereby reducing the temperature rise rate of the food slurry during cooking and reducing large temperature fluctuations of the slurry.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the food processing method further includes: a stirring stage: a maximum stirring temperature and a minimum stirring temperature are determined based on the boiling temperature, the rotating member stirs the food slurry, when the temperature of the food slurry is higher than the maximum stirring temperature, the air pump is turned on and the heating device is turned off, when the temperature of the food slurry is lower than the minimum stirring temperature, the air pump is turned off and the heating device is turned on, when the temperature of the food slurry is lower than the maximum stirring temperature and higher than the minimum stirring temperature, the air pump and the heating device are turned off simultaneously. Stirring the food slurry after the boiling stage can make the boiled food slurry more evenly mixed, further improving the taste of the food slurry and the user experience; and by alternating the opening / closing of the air pump and the heating device, the temperature of the food slurry can be maintained between the maximum stirring temperature and the minimum stirring temperature, ensuring the user experience of the food slurry ultimately produced by the food processor.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the food processing method further includes a defoaming stage in which the air pump is operated until the liquid level of the food slurry is less than or equal to a predetermined height. During the defoaming stage, the air pump is operated to blow air into the food slurry to break bubbles on the surface of the food slurry. This can reduce the number of bubbles on the surface of the processed food slurry presented to the user, thereby improving the taste and appearance of the food slurry.

[0017] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a food processing machine, comprising: a pulping component, a temperature control component and a control unit, the control unit being electrically connected to the pulping component and the temperature control component respectively; the pulping component comprising a cup body for accommodating food to be processed and a rotating part located in the cup body for crushing the food to be processed into food slurry; the temperature control component comprising a heating device for heating the food slurry, an air pump for blowing air into the food slurry, and a temperature sensing element for measuring the temperature of the food slurry; during the boiling stage of the food to be processed, the control unit controls the heating device to heat the food slurry to a boiling state, when the temperature of the food slurry is lower than the slight boiling temperature, the control unit controls the heating device to turn on and the air pump to turn off, when the temperature of the food slurry is higher than the slight boiling temperature, the control unit controls the air pump to turn on and the heating device to turn off, the slight boiling temperature being determined according to the boiling temperature of the food slurry, and the slight boiling temperature being lower than the boiling temperature.

[0018] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to implement the aforementioned food processing method. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0028] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0030] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0032] An embodiment of the present invention provides a food processing method and a food processing machine. The food processing method and the food processing machine correspond to each other, and the hardware structure in the food processing machine is used to execute various steps in the food processing method.

[0033] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the food processing machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a pulping component 100, a temperature control component 200, and a control unit (the control unit can be a chip, a processor or its operating device set at any position of the food processing machine, Figure 1 The control unit is electrically connected to the pulping assembly 100 and the temperature control assembly 200, respectively. The control unit controls the pulping assembly 100 and the temperature control assembly 200 to operate according to the following steps to implement the food processing method provided by the present invention. The pulping assembly 100 includes a cup 101 for containing food to be processed and a rotating member 102 located within the cup 101 for crushing the food to be processed contained within the cup 101 into a food slurry. The temperature control assembly 200 includes a heating device 201 for heating the food slurry, an air pump 202 for blowing air into the food slurry, and a temperature sensing element 203 for measuring the real-time temperature of the food slurry.

[0034] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, the food processor further includes a main body 300 for arranging the pulping assembly 100 and the temperature control assembly 200, as well as an air inlet 301 and an air outlet 302 provided on the main body 300. When the air pump 202 is started, air is drawn in from the air inlet 301 and excess air in the main body 300 is discharged from the air outlet 302.

[0035] Based on Figure 1 The food processing machine shown in the figure, the pulping component and the temperature control component implement the food processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention under the control of the control unit, such as Figure 3 As shown, the food processing method may specifically include:

[0036] S101: Crushing stage.

[0037] Specifically, in the crushing stage, the rotating element crushes the food to be processed contained in the cup body to form food slurry.

[0038] S102: boiling stage.

[0039] Specifically, during the cooking stage, the control unit first controls the heating device 201 to heat the food slurry to a boiling state; and determines the real-time temperature of the food slurry through the temperature sensing element 203. When the real-time temperature of the food slurry is lower than the slight boiling temperature, the control unit controls the heating device 201 to turn on and the air pump 202 to turn off. When the temperature of the food slurry is higher than the slight boiling temperature, the control unit controls the air pump 202 to turn on and the heating device 201 to turn off. The slight boiling temperature is determined according to the boiling temperature of the food slurry, and the slight boiling temperature is lower than the boiling temperature.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the boiling stage can be divided into a heating step, a boiling step, and a slight boiling step which are performed in sequence.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific steps of the boiling stage include:

[0042] Step S201: The heating device continuously heats the food slurry, and the temperature sensing element senses the real-time temperature of the food slurry in real time.

[0043] In this step, the heating device is continuously turned on to continuously heat the food slurry, the temperature sensing element is continuously operated to sense the real-time temperature of the food slurry in real time, and transmits the real-time temperature of the food slurry to the control unit.

[0044] Step S202: Determine whether the real-time temperature of the food slurry is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, or whether the heating time is greater than or equal to the preset time. If so, execute step S203; if not, execute step S201.

[0045] In this step, the control unit receives the real-time temperature of the food slurry sensed by the temperature sensing element, and when the real-time temperature of the food slurry is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, step S203 is executed to enter the boiling contact step.

[0046] In addition, while receiving the real-time temperature of the food slurry sensed by the temperature sensing element, the control unit also times the heating stage. When the duration of the heating stage is greater than or equal to the preset duration, step S203 is also executed to enter the boiling contact step.

[0047] When the real-time temperature of the food slurry is lower than the first preset temperature and the duration of the heating phase is lower than the preset duration, step S201 is continued to be executed, and the heating phase is maintained.

[0048] Step S203: The heating device heats the food slurry to a boiling state.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the food processor further includes an anti-overflow electrode. When the food slurry is heated to boiling, a large number of bubbles are generated, causing the liquid level to rise. When the liquid level rises to touch the anti-overflow electrode, it indicates that the food slurry has been heated to boiling state, and step S204 is executed.

[0050] It can be understood that the above-mentioned liquid level rising to touch the anti-overflow electrode indicates that the food slurry has been heated to a boiling state. It is only an example of a specific implementation example of determining whether the food slurry has reached a boiling state in some embodiments of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation. In some other embodiments of the present application, it is also possible to determine whether the food slurry has reached a boiling state by using a spaced liquid level detection device, that is, a liquid level detection device is provided on the outside of the cup body, such as a capacitive anti-overflow device provided on the outer wall of the cup body. The liquid level detection device can monitor whether the liquid level of the food slurry has reached a preset height through the cup body, thereby determining whether the food slurry has reached a boiling state, etc. Other implementation methods can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0051] Step S204: the heating device is turned off and the air pump is turned on to reduce the real-time temperature of the food slurry to a second preset temperature.

[0052] In this step, after the food slurry is heated to a boiling state, the heating device is turned off and the air pump is turned on to blow air into the boiling food slurry, thereby bursting the bubbles on the surface of the food slurry and lowering the real-time temperature of the food slurry. When the temperature sensing element senses that the real-time temperature of the food slurry has dropped to a second preset temperature, step S205 is executed to enter the slight boiling step.

[0053] Step S205: When the real-time temperature of the food slurry is lower than the slight boiling temperature, the heating device is turned on and the air pump is turned off; when the real-time temperature of the food slurry is higher than the slight boiling temperature, the air pump is turned on and the heating device is turned off.

[0054] In this step, the slight boiling temperature can be determined according to the boiling temperature of the food slurry, and the slight boiling temperature is lower than the boiling temperature.

[0055] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, for example, a cooking temperature difference can be pre-set in a food processor, i.e., a preset cooking temperature difference, and the difference between the boiling temperature and the preset cooking temperature difference is used as the slight boiling temperature. The preset cooking temperature difference can be a temperature difference set by default when the food processor is manufactured, or it can be a temperature difference flexibly set by the user when the food processor is in use. It can be flexibly set according to actual needs. For example, the preset cooking temperature difference can be set to 1°C, 2°C, 3°C..., and the corresponding slight boiling temperature is the boiling temperature minus 1°C, the boiling temperature minus 2°C, the boiling temperature minus 3°C...

[0056] It is understood that in different embodiments of the present invention, the slight boiling temperature can be a specific temperature value, for example, the slight boiling temperature can be set to the boiling temperature minus 1°C or the boiling temperature minus 2°C, etc. The slight boiling temperature can also be a temperature range, for example, the slight boiling temperature can be set to be greater than or equal to the boiling temperature minus 2°C and less than or equal to the boiling temperature minus 1°C, etc., and can be flexibly set according to actual needs. When the slight boiling temperature is within the temperature range, when the food slurry is within this temperature range, the heating device and the air pump can be turned off at the same time.

[0057] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the boiling temperature may also be a temperature difference value set by default when the food processor is manufactured. Since water is used as the base liquid in most food processor applications, the boiling temperature may be set by default to the common boiling point of water, i.e., 100°C, for greater simplicity and convenience. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the boiling temperature may be the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor when the food slurry is heated to a boiling state in step S203. It is understandable that the boiling temperature of water may be different for different application scenarios. For example, when used in plateau areas, the boiling temperature of water will be lower than 100°C, or when the food slurry is heated to a boiling state, due to a large amount of water evaporation, the air pressure in the food processor may also be greater than the external atmospheric pressure. At this time, the boiling temperature of the food slurry may be greater than 100°C, or when other high-boiling-point liquids other than water are added to the food slurry, the boiling temperature of the food slurry may also be greater than 100°C. Using the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing element when the food slurry is heated to a boiling state as the boiling temperature can better adapt to different application scenarios.

[0058] Among them, step S201 and step S202 are heating steps, step S203 and step S204 are boiling peak steps, and step S205 is a slight boiling step.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, in the food processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, after the food slurry is heated to the boiling temperature, the heating device is turned off and the air pump is turned on to blow air into the boiling food slurry, thereby lowering the real-time temperature of the food slurry and reducing bubbles generated by the long-term boiling of the food slurry. Compared with the related art of cooling the food slurry by adding cold water, cooling the food slurry by blowing air can gradually reduce the temperature of the food slurry, reduce the sudden change of the real-time temperature of the food slurry in a short period of time, and improve the appearance and taste of the food slurry. In addition, in the slight boiling step, the food slurry is always kept near the slight boiling temperature by alternately controlling the opening and closing of the heating device and the air pump. At this time, the food slurry rolls below the liquid surface, the cooking of the food slurry is more uniform, and the cooking quality is better. Fewer bubbles are generated above the liquid surface, which can reduce bubbles in the food slurry and make the taste of the food slurry smoother.

[0060] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the heating device may include a high power gear, a medium power gear, and a low power gear. In the embodiments of the present application, the high power gear, the medium power gear, and the low power gear are heating gears corresponding to three different heating powers with a fixed size relationship, that is, the heating power of the high power gear is greater than the heating power of the medium power gear, which is greater than the heating power of the low power gear, and the specific heating power of the high power gear, the medium power gear, and the low power gear is not limited. In different embodiments of the present application, the high power gear, the medium power gear, and the low power gear can be selectively set from 0 to 100% of the rated power, respectively. For example, the heating power of the high power gear can be set to 80% of the rated power, the heating power of the medium power gear can be set to 60% of the rated power, and the heating power of the low power gear can be set to 40% of the rated power; or the heating power can be set to 100% of the rated power, the heating power of the medium power gear can be set to 50% of the rated power, and the heating power of the low power gear can be set to 10% of the rated power, etc. The specific heating power corresponding to the power gear can be set according to actual needs.

[0061] In the food processing method provided in the aforementioned embodiment, in step S201, while the heating device continues to heat the food slurry, the heating device can be turned on at a high power setting, and the heating device can maintain the high power setting to continuously heat the food slurry until the food slurry reaches a first preset temperature or the heating time reaches a preset value. When the temperature of the food slurry is relatively low in the early stages, the heating device can maintain the high power setting to quickly heat the food slurry, thereby rapidly heating the food slurry and improving cooking efficiency.

[0062] In step S203, while the heating device is heating the food slurry to a boiling state, the heating device can be turned on at a medium power level, and the heating device can be maintained at the medium power level to continuously heat the food slurry until the food slurry boils. Turning on the medium power level during the process of heating the food slurry to a boiling state can reduce the possibility of the food slurry temperature rising too quickly and causing boiling, and reduce the risk of the anti-overflow electrode failing due to boiling, thereby reducing the risk of food slurry overflowing.

[0063] In step S205, when the real-time temperature of the food slurry is below the slight boiling point, the heating device is turned on and operated at a low power setting. Because the real-time temperature of the food slurry is very close to the boiling point during the slight boiling step, heating the food slurry at a low power setting by the heating device can reduce the temperature rise rate of the food slurry during cooking, reduce the possibility of the food slurry boiling violently, and reduce the risk of large temperature fluctuations in the food slurry.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S201, while the heating device continuously heats the food slurry, the rotating member operates for a preset stirring time period at predetermined intervals and then stops, stirring the food slurry for the predetermined stirring time period. Furthermore, while the rotating member stirs the food slurry, an air pump is activated to blow air into the food slurry. Stirring the food slurry while the heating device continuously heats the food slurry can reduce splashing caused by uneven heating, and blowing air while stirring can achieve a more uniform stirring effect.

[0065] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air pump includes a high-power blowing gear and a low-power blowing gear. In the embodiments of the present application, the high-power blowing gear and the low-power blowing gear are blowing gears corresponding to two different blowing powers with a fixed size relationship, that is, the blowing power of the high-power blowing gear is greater than the blowing power of the low-power blowing gear, and the wind speed generated by the high-power blowing gear is greater than the wind speed generated by the low-power blowing gear, but the specific blowing powers of the high-power blowing gear and the low-power blowing gear are not limited. In different embodiments of the present application, the high-power blowing gear and the low-power blowing gear can be selectively set from 0 to 100% of the rated power, respectively. For example, the blowing power of the high-power blowing gear can be set to 80% of the rated blowing power, and the blowing power of the low-power blowing gear can be set to 40% of the rated blowing power; or the blowing power of the high-power blowing gear can be set to 100% of the rated blowing power, and the blowing power of the low-power blowing gear can be set to 10% of the rated blowing power, etc. The specific blowing power corresponding to the blowing gear can be set according to actual needs.

[0066] Corresponding to step S201, while the rotating member is stirring the food slurry, the air pump can be turned on at a low-power blowing gear when it is turned on to blow air into the food slurry. Turning on the low-power blowing gear during stirring can make the stirring effect more uniform while reducing heat loss in the slurry and improving the heating efficiency of the food slurry.

[0067] Corresponding to step S205, when the real-time temperature of the food slurry is higher than the slight boiling temperature, the air pump is turned on at a high-power blowing gear. Using a high-power blowing gear during the slight boiling step can cool the slurry faster, allowing it to enter the next heating stage faster, thereby improving cooking efficiency.

[0068] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, food processing methods include Figure 3 In addition to the crushing stage S301 and the boiling stage S302, the process also includes:

[0069] Step S303: stirring stage.

[0070] In this step, if Figure 6 As shown, the stirring stage specifically includes:

[0071] Step S401: determining the maximum stirring temperature and the minimum stirring temperature according to the boiling temperature.

[0072] In this step, the maximum stirring temperature and the minimum stirring temperature can also be determined according to the boiling temperature, the same as the slight boiling temperature. For example, the maximum temperature difference and the minimum temperature difference can be set, and the difference between the boiling temperature and the maximum temperature difference can be used as the minimum stirring temperature, and the difference between the boiling temperature and the minimum temperature difference can be used as the maximum stirring temperature, etc. For details, please refer to the specific setting method of the boiling temperature mentioned above.

[0073] Step S402: The rotating member stirs the food slurry.

[0074] In this step, the rotating part may include a high-speed stirring state and a low-speed stirring state. In different embodiments of the present invention, it may be operated only in a high-speed stirring state, or only in a low-speed stirring state, or it may be operated alternately in a high-speed stirring state, a low-speed stirring state, and no stirring, or it may be operated alternately in a high-speed stirring state, a low-speed stirring state, and no stirring. The specific setting can be flexibly made according to actual needs.

[0075] Step S403: When the real-time temperature of the food slurry is higher than the maximum stirring temperature, the air pump is turned on and the heating device is turned off.

[0076] Step S404: When the real-time temperature of the food slurry is lower than the minimum stirring temperature, the air pump is turned off and the heating device is turned on.

[0077] Step S405: When the real-time temperature of the food slurry is lower than the maximum stirring temperature and higher than the minimum stirring temperature, the air pump and the heating device are turned off simultaneously.

[0078] Stirring the food slurry after the cooking stage can make the cooked food slurry mixed more evenly, further improving the taste of the food slurry and user experience; and by alternating the opening / closing of the air pump and the heating device, the temperature of the food slurry can be maintained between the maximum stirring temperature and the minimum stirring temperature, ensuring the user experience of the food slurry finally produced by the food processor.

[0079] Furthermore, in some other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, before the rotating member stirs the food slurry in step S402, the stirring stage may further include:

[0080] S406: The air pump is turned on to blow air into the food slurry until the food slurry reaches a third preset temperature.

[0081] Since the slightly boiling temperature is relatively close to the boiling temperature, the temperature of the food slurry at the slightly boiling temperature is relatively high when the cooking stage just ends. Before the rotating part stirs the food slurry, the air pump is turned on to blow air into the food slurry to reduce the temperature of the food slurry to the third preset temperature before stirring. This can reduce the risk of food slurry overflowing when stirring the food slurry in a high-temperature state.

[0082] Step S304: defoaming stage.

[0083] In this step, the air pump is continuously turned on until the liquid level of the food slurry is less than or equal to a preset height.

[0084] It can be understood that the air pump is continuously turned on until the liquid level of the food slurry is less than or equal to the preset height is only an example of some embodiments of the present invention and does not constitute a limitation. In some other embodiments of the present invention, the air pump may be continuously turned on until the blowing time reaches the preset defoaming time, or the temperature of the food slurry reaches the preset defoaming temperature, or other conditions. The specific settings can be made according to actual needs.

[0085] During the defoaming stage, the air pump is turned on to blow air into the food slurry to burst the bubbles on the surface of the food slurry. This can reduce the number of bubbles on the surface of the food slurry presented to the user after processing, thereby improving the taste and appearance of the food slurry presented to the user.

[0086] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air pump includes a high-power blowing gear and a low-power blowing gear.

[0087] Corresponding to step S403, when the real-time temperature of the food slurry is higher than the maximum stirring temperature, the air pump is turned on at a high-power blowing gear to cool the food slurry more quickly, so that the food slurry is reduced to below the maximum stirring temperature more quickly.

[0088] Corresponding to step S406, the air pump can also be turned on at a high-power blowing gear to cool the food slurry more quickly, so that the food slurry is cooled to the third preset temperature more quickly.

[0089] Corresponding to step S304, the air pump may be operated alternately in a high-power blowing gear and a low-power blowing gear. For example, the air pump may be operated in the high-power blowing gear for a preset high-speed defoaming time and then switched to the low-power blowing gear until the liquid level of the food slurry is less than or equal to a preset height, or until the temperature of the food slurry reaches a preset defoaming temperature.

[0090] The present invention also relates to a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which implements the above method embodiment when executed by a processor.
